Winter Retreat 2025
5-Day ❄️ At-Home ❄️ Online Retreat
Sunday January 19th – Thursday January 23rd
Clear your mind, care for your body, tend to your heart, and renew your spirit in this five-day at-home small group New Year’s retreat on Zoom. In the spirit of Martin Luther King, Jr, we will explore as a theme the crossroads between inner peace and peace-building in the world.
Participants choose their own level of participation that accommodates their personal schedule, aspirations, and body-mind needs at this time. Daily sessions include seated meditation (on chair or cushion), gentle moving meditation (disability-inclusive yoga, qigong, and lujong), lying-down meditation and progressive relaxation, breath-work, and practices for building compassion and equanimity.
Yoga for Social Change: Study & Support Group
We live in a time when realizing the truth of interconnectedness is critical to survival. How we choose to engage this moment determines not only our own well-being but the well-being of many. Spiritual practitioners from all traditions have a moral imperative to recognize the intersection between self-care and community care, self-development and eco-social development, self-liberation and collective liberation.
Yoga for Social Change is a year-long course of study and a community-building support group. It is a space for practitioners of all persuasions to set aside time each month to reflect on how our practice can be engaged to support healing in the world.

Monthly Deep Rest Yoga Nidra
2nd Sundays / 2pm – 3:10
Yoga Nidra is a guided lying-down meditation that induces deep relaxation and peaceful states of awareness. Research highlights how Deep Rest practices can release cumulative stress from the body and brain, reducing inflammation and down-regulating stress-hormone arousal while harnessing the body and brain’s natural abilities to heal and recover with focused, structured rest.
Community Meditation
Free gentle yoga + meditation session every Wednesday evening from 7pm – 7:50 on Zoom. Seated tension-release on a chair or a cushion (your preference), breath-work or visualization to release distress from the nervous system, lightly guided seated meditation, concludes with a progressive relaxation that can be done lying-down or in a reclined position.
All are welcome. No prior experience necessary. This practice can be done in a chair, on the floor, on your couch, or in your bed. To join the group, simply email Jenne so she can send you the Zoom link ➡️ info@jennesluder.com
